[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2181318, member: 401801"] You still seem to think this is about weight. It's not. 10% of T2's never were overweight to begin with. You are eating carbohydrates. Those turn to glucose (sugar) once ingested. That is starches, fructose etc.... And you're eating a LOT of that. I can't even eat one slice of bread without my bloodsugars being affected. (Also, one slice of bread is more carbs than i eat in a day.) Those will drive your bloodsugars up. Try going without all those starches for a day or two, and see what your meter tells you. Check your bloods before a meal and 2 hours after the first bite, and see what an amazing difference it can make. Weight does not cause diabetes and weight loss will not miraculously cure it. Not putting something into your body which it turns into sugar, does make for a well-controlled T2. I've been in the normal range for as long as i've been low carbing. And you, my dear, are not low carbing. Like i said, you can still make one heck of a difference just by changing what you eat. You have a chance here to not need medication at all. [/QUOTE]
